begins to fall Wednesday. At right, the marquee at Walgreens on Halls Ferry Road seems to state the obvious.

Vicksburg and Warren County residents waking today to another weekday morning of snow and ice can look forward to a weekend with temperatures approaching 70 degrees. The storm that passed through the area Wednesday afternoon and night left a frosting of snow in yards and fields and patches of ice on county and city roads, resulting in the third weather-related school cancellation in a month. The city’s water plant at Vicksburg’s harbor reported 0.2 of an inch of snow. “It’s unheard of, at least in the last decade,” said Vicksburg Warren School District Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford, who made the decision around 4 a.m. to cancel classes for the 9,000 students in the public school system. Swinford consulted with local law enforcement and her transportation staff but also drove the roads herself to test conditions, finding ice, slush and “fishtailing cars,” she said. “We considered a delayed start, but even if we started school at 10, buses would have to be out on the roads by 8 a.m., and the temperature is not expected to get above freezing until after noon,” Swinford said early this morning. Vicksburg Catholic School and Porters Chapel Academy also were closed. Hinds Community College’s Vicksburg Branch was open for classes today. Skies were expected to See Weather, Page A10.

License plate proposal brews brouhaha over Klan ties Tag would honor Nathan Bedford Forrest By Emily Wagster Pettus The Associated Press

Online

JACKSON — A fight is brewing in Mississippi over a proposal to issue specialty license plates honoring Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan. The Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans wants to sponsor a series of state-issued license plates to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which it calls the “War Between the States.” The group proposes a different design each year between now and 2015, with Forrest slated for 2014.

Mississippi Department of Revenue, specialty license plates: www.dor.ms.gov/mvl/availabletags.html “Seriously?” state NAACP president Derrick Johnson asked when he was told about the Forrest plate. “Wow.” Forrest, a Tennessee native, is revered by some as a military genius and reviled by others for leading the 1864 massacre of black Union troops at Fort Pillow, Tenn.

River Region to seek OK for adolescent psychiatric unit By Danny Barrett Jr. dbarrett@vicksburgpost.com A 20-bed adolescent psychiatric unit River Region Medical Center plans for the vacant second floor of its West Campus on North Frontage Road will come up in March for approval by the

Mississippi State Department of Health, agency officials said. If a certificate of need to open the facility is granted by the state, 8,855 square feet of space on the second floor’s east wing will be renovated into two day rooms, two group rooms, a seclu-

sion room, a dining room and a nurses’ station, according to an application filed in May with the agency’s Division of Health Planning and Resource Development. The Board of Health expects findings and recommendations from a hearing in November on the proj-

ect to be addressed on an unspecified day in March. Approval of the project would allow all of the hospital’s behavioral health services to be housed in the former Vicksburg Medical Center, already home to two psychiatric units on the third floor for adults 18 to 54 and

for those 55 and older. “The adolescent psychiatric unit will allow River Region to add a key service line to our current behavioral health unit,” said Glenn T. Carney, River Region’s chief operating officer. “So, we can See RRMC, Page A9.

March appeal set for schools chief JACKSON — Jackson Public Schools Superintendent Lonnie Edwards could make a case for keeping his job in early March. The school board has set March 4 as the tentative date for a hearing on Edwards’ appeal of the school board’s decision not to renew his Lonnie contract. At a Edwards special-called meeting Wednesday night, the board also voted 4-1 to appoint Brookhaven lawyer Nathaniel Armistad as the hearing officer. Members also voted to hire lawyer Jim Keith to assist board attorney Dorian Turner in the hearing. Edwards, hired in August 2008, learned Jan. 26 that his contract would not be

Coleman papers set to be released OXFORD — The judicial papers of the late J.P. Coleman from his years on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will be released March 8 during a program at the University of Mississippi. The event will include a panel discussion of Coleman’s judicial career. Coleman was governor of Mississippi from 1956-60. He was appointed to the 5th Circuit by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Coleman became chief judge of the court in 1979 and retired from the bench in 1984. Coleman died in 1991.

That leaves the jury with just two charges to consider — manufacturing of marijuana and transfer of a controlled substance. Allen’s trial began Tuesday.

Pet cruelty bills Town mourns after 3 die in bus crash get Senate OK, ‘I was yelling. I was scared,’ Ackerman High student recalls move to House By Holbrook Mohr The Associated Press

JACKSON — The Senate passed two bills Wednesday aimed at strengthening the state’s animal cruelty law by making it a felony to maliciously injure, torture or kill a cat or dog. Currently, anyone accused of such offenses is charged with a misdemeanor. A bill filed by Sen. Billy Hewes, R-Gulfport, would make animal cruelty a felony on the first offense. One filed by Sen. Bob Dearing, D-Natchez, would make it a felony on the second offense. Legislators say Mississippi is one of four states without a felony law for abusing pets. Under Dearing’s bill, a first offense is a misdemeanor. A second offense would be an aggravated cruelty charge and a violator could face up to five years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. For either offense, the court could order restitution for the value of the cat or dog and the costs of veterinarian fees, medicine and loss of income. For aggravated cruelty, the court could also order mental evaluation and treatment, community service and unannounced visits to inspect a violator’s pets. The bills now move to the House, where similar legislation has failed.

Senate OKs release for sick inmates The Senate has passed a bill to set a process for gravely ill, nonviolent inmates to be released from prison. Current state law says an inmate must be terminally ill to qualify for conditional medical release. Including incapacitated or totally disabled inmates for release could save the state money, said Senate Corrections Committee Chairman Willie Simmons. The bill now goes to the House.

House OKs registry for state’s midwives The House has passed a bill that would establish a registry for midwives practicing in Mississippi. The proposal calls for midwives to take an exam by the North American Registry of Midwives, said Rep. Omeria Scott, D-Laurel. After they receive certification, the midwives could request their names be included in a state registry. About a dozen midwives practice in Mississippi, Scott said, helping to deliver children at home. The bill has some exemptions, including those for relatives and religious groups. The bill, passed by a vote of 70-49, now moves to the Senate.

House ships to Senate college clubs measure Mississippi legislators are working to remove an antiquated state law that governs membership in fraternities, sororities and other social groups on college campuses. The House voted Wednesday to repeal a 1930s law that says students must maintain

mississippi legislature

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS at least an 80 percent grade average and be “of good moral character” to belong to social organizations at universities and community colleges. The bill moves to the Senate for more work.

House OKs change to Medicaid rule Mississippi lawmakers are arguing over Medicaid enrollment procedures. Since 2004, Medicaid recipients have been required to go to state offices once a year to renew enrollment in the government health plan for the poor. Before, recipients could re-enroll by mail. The Democratic-controlled House voted 65-49 Tuesday to remove the “face-to-face” enrollment and go back to allowing mail-in procedures. The bill moves to the Republican-led Senate, where it’s expected to face strong opposition. Republican Gov. Haley Barbour says in-person enrollment helps reduce fraud. Opponents say it creates hardships for poor people.

Senate bill adds divorce grounds The state Senate has approved a bill that would give a spouse grounds for divorce if he or she has been away from an abusive situation for five years or longer. The bill passed on a 44-7 vote Tuesday and headed to the House. Sen. Joey Filligane, R-Sumrall, chairman of the Senate Judiciary A Committee, said the bill would make it easier for spouses, usually wives, to file for divorce when one spouse leaves to avoid abuse and the other refuses to grant a divorce. Filligane said state law allows a spouse who is abandoned to file for divorce. He said the law does not address abuse. The bill specifies that the couple must be separated without reconciliation and not have sexual relations for at least five years. The bill would allow a judge to deny a divorce if it is not in the best interest of the children.

Senate clears smoke from state buildings The Senate has passed a bill that bans smoking in government buildings. The legislation began as a proposal to ban smoking in all public places, including restaurants. However, the bill was changed in a Senate committee to almost mirror current law. Sen. Hillman Frazier, a Democrat from Jackson who is a member of the Senate Public Health Committee, says the bill gives the House something to work with if members in that chamber want to reinsert stronger language. The bill now moves to the House.

JACKSON — Phyllis Graham dedicated her life to teaching special needs children. Steven Moss was a mentor to the students he coached in football and golf. Both Ackerman High School teachers died Tuesday when a tractor-trailer rig collided with two school buses carrying seniors home from a school trip to the University of Mississippi. The accident also killed 54-year-old Gary T. Bailey of Mantachie, who was driving the 18-wheeler, authorities said. The accident happened on a narrow bridge on Mississippi 8 in Calhoun County, about 40 miles south of the Ole Miss campus, when the 18-wheeler sideswiped the first bus, then hit the second one head on, authorities said. Somehow, all 54 students survived, though 17 were taken to hospitals. Ackerman High School Principal Terry Bellew said four students remained hospitalized Wednesday. Their injuries were not considered lifethreatening. Jake Hough, a 17-year-old senior, described the terrifying ordeal in an interview with WTVA-TV. “At first, I seen the 18-wheeler coming. It hit the first bus and skinned it. Then the 18-wheeler hit us head on. Before it hit us,

Ribbons for the two educators killed in Tuesday’s bus wreck hang on a door at Ackerman High School Wednesday. I was yelling. I was scared,” Hough said. “Then we hit and woke up. Everybody was on the floor.” The tragedy stunned the little town of Ackerman, a community of about 1,800 people where “everybody knows everybody,” said Mayor

ACLU, Desoto schools settle cell phone case SOUTHAVEN (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union has settled a lawsuit with a northern Mississippi school district arising from a 2008 student expulsion involving claims the boy had gang images on his cell phone. The settlement was reached by the DeSoto County School District near Memphis over a suit filed by the ACLU in September 2009 on behalf of the middle school student. The student was expelled after officials searched his phone and found what they described as “gang-related activity.” According to the ACLU, however, the photos mainly depicted the student dancing

The phone was turned over to Sergeant Nicholas Kennedy of the Southaven Police Department, who claimed

that the pictures constituted “gang-related activity” and “indecent pictures,” the ACLU alleged. Wade was suspended for three days and later expelled after a disciplinary hearing. School officials, who declined to disclose financial details of the settlement, said Wednesday that the ACLU had accepted its revised policy. “We deny we have done anything wrong,” Milton Kuykendall, superintendent of DeSoto County Schools, said in a written statement. “We have clarified our gang policy, and our insurance company reached financial settlements to avoid additional legal costs.”

History panel to mull levee markers for New Orleans NEW ORLEANS — It will likely be August before a state panel considers whether to recommend that two places where levees failed in New Orleans in 2005 be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The sites are along the Industrial and 17th Street canals. Levee breaches there and elsewhere contributed to catastrophic damage and deaths when Hurricane Katrina hit. Those involved in the effort to document the historic significance of the breaches hope to have the application considered at an April hearing of a state panel.

St. Bernard assessor ends family dynasty CHALMETTE — For 63 years, every assessor in St. Bernard Parish has come from one family. In two years, that will change. Assessor Marlene Vinsanau said she won’t run for re-election in October. Her four-year term runs through December 2012. Vinsanau won’t support anyone in the election, she said, and is making her plans public now to give everyone a fair chance.

She began working in the office in 1964. She became interim assessor in 1995, after the death of her hus-

band, Maurice, who had been assessor since 1976. His father, Lewis Vinsanau, held the job from 1948 to 1976.

Dick Cain. “It’s very somber here right now,” said Cain, whose granddaughter was on the second bus. “She’s banged up. Sore. Emotionally troubled.” Moss, 37, was a respected coach who also taught history, Bellew said.

“Coach Moss was a strong, positive role model for the young men that he taught and coached,” Bellew said in statements prepared for a news conference Wednesday. “He was a dynamic person, always with a kind word and many times with a humorous comment that could be heard in his usual quiet, witty tone.” Moss is survived by a wife and 5-year-old daughter. Graham, a 53-year-old special education teacher, made the school trip to accompany one of her students to the university. “Mrs. Graham’s love for her students was evident in everything that she did. For 12 1/2 years she devoted her life to loving, encouraging, inspiring and teaching special needs children,” Bellew said. Graham leaves behind a husband, son and daughter. Choctaw County schools Superintendent Donna Shea said both educators “were very much loved by the students and each had a love for their students that flowed through them.” The cause of the accident remains under investigation. Shea told The Associated Press on Wednesday that any information regarding the cause of the crash would have to come from law enforcement. A Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman said the investigation continues.

50 YEARS AGO: 1961

A bipartisan uprising against the EPA Republicans have been joined by Democrats in separate strategies to curb the Environmental Protection Agency’s plans to unilaterally regulate greenhouse gases. If successful, they could delay or end the agency’s plans, leaving regulatory authority to Congress, where an emissionrestricting bill died last year. At the least, congressional votes on the EPA’s planned greenhouse gas regulations and similar attempts to repeal President Barack Obama’s centerpiece health care legislation will put representatives and senators on record for the 2012 election. The congressional efforts against the EPA, like recent votes on Obamacare, identify incumbents’ positions on what promises to be two of the election’s major campaign issues. Even if the legislative attempts fail this year, voters will know who supported and who opposed these Draconian, job-killing measures. Only 28 percent of Democrats who voted for Obamacare were re-elected to the House in swing districts in 2010, while 57 percent of Democratic incumbents in

swing districts who voted against it kept their seats, according to one analysis. While no Senate Democrats defected in a failed vote to repeal Obamacare, three House Democrats joined with Republicans when the lower house voted in January for repeal. Republicans, who took control last month of the House but not the Senate, hope to advance legislation in the Senate to strip the EPA of authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. We agree with EPA critics who say the act never was intended to be used to regulate carbon dioxide. The agency, however, in 2007 declared CO2 to be a harmful pollutant, triggering its authority. There also are court challenges to the EPA’s authority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using the Clean Air Act, as there are multiple lawsuits challenging Obamacare’s constitutionality. These high-profile conflicts on both matters promise to generate headlines much of the year, and perhaps into the 2012 campaign season.

In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will be pressured to allow a vote on the EPA issue. A bill was reintroduced this week by fellow Democrat Sen. John D. Rockefeller of West Virginia and six fellow Democrats from conservative-leaning states. Their bill would place a two-year delay on the agency’s regulations. “(W)e need the time to get it right and to move cleancoal technology forward,” Mr. Rockefeller said. Senate Republicans hope to go further with their bill to take away EPA’s authority altogether. “The last thing Americans need is a national energy tax that would kill more jobs,” said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas. House Republicans have introduced similar legislation. It’s encouraging that momentum is growing to oppose the unnecessary and costly regulations and mandates on greenhouse gases and on the nation’s health care industry. Even if legislative and court challenges fall short this year, they promise to set the stage for definitive electioneering in 2012.

Applauding Egyptian democracy movement with crossed fingers On the one hand, you have to cheer the massive outpouring of demand for democracy in Egypt. On the other hand, you have to keep your fingers crossed. For the past 50 years, popular demonstrations have led to expanded freedom more often than not — in India after World War II, but not in Pakistan; in civil rights progress in the United States; in Spain and Portugal in the 1970s; in much of Latin America, the Philippines and Eastern Europe in the 1980s, culminating in the collapse of the Berlin Wall. But, then, we have the examples of Iran in 1979, where street protests brought in a brutal theocracy, and the Tiananmen Square massacre that China’s rulers committed in 1989 to keep themselves in power. I used to be a journalistic democracy-chaser. I was in Portugal amid the “Carnation Revolution” of 1974. Then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told me and other reporters traveling in Eastern Europe that the country was headed “down the drain” toward communism. But in Portugal, the then-U.S. ambassador and later Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci said that was nonsense, that Portugal wanted to

be a democracy. And he was right. It was a thrilling moment. I also was in South Korea in 1987, gas mask at the ready, the day dictator Chun Doo Hwan yielded to the students — and U.S. pressure — and declared there would be free elections. It was another thrilling moment. As it was — I wasn’t there but covered it closely from Washington — when Ronald Reagan’s personal intermediary, Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., told Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos that he had to go, and he did. When Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega agreed to free elections and lost. (Of course, he got re-elected in 2007.) And, of course, when the Soviet empire collapsed.

But then, there was Iran in 1979. I was there in the lull between the first mass demonstrations in 1978 and the final crescendo at the end of the year, when the shah was trying to institute reform and survive. The U.S. embassy thought he’d make it. He didn’t. The bottom line is that Egypt could go any which way — to free elections and real democracy, as the Obama administration and most Egyptians and Americans want; or to repression by dictator Hosni Mubarak’s regime, enabling him to hand over power to a chosen successor, or to all-out chaotic revolution or Islamic fundamentalist rule. Which it might be is anyone’s guess, but this fact has to be faced:

If Egypt succeeds in the transition from authoritarian rule to stable democracy, it would be the first Arab country to do so. The Arab world has benevolent monarchies — Morocco and Jordan — but they are not true democracies. Lebanon is a democracy, but it is unstable, and the terrorist group Hezbollah is now the dominant force in government. Iraq has had free elections, but the country may yet descend again into sectarian civil war or revert to strong-man rule. At U.S. urging, the Palestinian Authority held a free election in 2006. It was won by the terrorist faction Hamas, whereupon the result was canceled — except that Hamas violently seized power in Gaza. At a program on Feb. 2, experts at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said that the key to Egypt’s future lies with its army, the country’s most respected institution, but said it appeared uncertain what to do and that time is running out for a decision. The institute’s director, Robert Satloff, said the evidence suggested President Barack Obama made his “bold” statement Tuesday calling for a “transition ... now,” believing

that the army was on the verge of action. But on the same day, the military stood by as pro-Mubarak thugs assaulted pro-democracy demonstrators in a clear effort to sow chaos. The Muslim Brotherhood so far has kept a low profile, evidently hoping Mubarak will open parliamentary seats to dissidents, creating a political opening. Even though Mubarak has been friendly to U.S. interests — helping fight Islamic extremism, resisting Iranian influence, keeping open the Suez Canal, maintaining ties with Israel, his unpopularity has rubbed off on America’s image. According to the Pew Global Attitudes poll last year, only 17 percent of Egyptians had a favorable view of the United States, as low as any country in the world. Only 18 percent supported our anti-terror policy. So it would be a joy to see Egyptian citizens striving for freedom achieve it, and keep it. But even that happy result could have unpleasant consequences for us.

A5 FOR WORLD RESERVE MONETARY EXCHANGE, INC. 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720

Q 48-HOUR DISTRIBUTION: These seldom seen full uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills are being moved from the private vaults of the World Reserve Monetary Exchange for immediate distribution to Vicksburg area residents. They are only being released banded together in Vault Stacks containing three protective bankers portfolios each loaded with its own full uncut sheet of never circulated $2 bills for just forty-eight dollars per bankers portfolio. That’s a real steal because only the first 7,127 residents whose zip code appears on the Distribution List are getting the Vault Stacks full of real money just by calling 1-877-316-7099 to beat the 48-hour deadline.

Vicksburg area zip codes turn up cash for residents Valuable uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills are actually being released to the first 7,127 callers who find their zip code on the distribution list below and beat the 48-hour deadline to get Vault Stacks full of real money By Keith Berrymore UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE

UMS – Vicksburg area residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List will feel like they just won the lottery. That’s because for the next 48 hours, full uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills

are being released by the World Reserve not to banks, not to dealers and not just to the rich and famous, but directly to Vicksburg area residents who beat the order deadline. The only thing residents need to do is look for their zip code on the Distribution

List printed in today’s publication. If their zip code appears on the list, they need to immediately call the Distribution Hotline before the 48-hour deadline to get the Vault Stack containing three protective bankers portfolios each loaded with its own full uncut sheet of never circulated $2 bills. But only the first 7,127 residents whose zip code appears on the Distribution List can even get the Vault Stacks containing three protective bankers portfolios full of real money. “The Gov’t shut down printing of $2 bills in September 2006 and likely won’t print more next year, so the money is being released until our last remaining $2 bills are completely gone,” said Jefferson Marshall, Executive Director of the private World Reserve. “That’s why we’ve set up a Toll Free Distribution Hotline to make sure residents get them now,” he said. “But everything in our vault may soon be gone. So residents who want to get the uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills had better hurry and call right now,” Marshall said. So those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. Just think what they could be worth someday. “Rare uncut sheets of real Gov’t issued currency have sold at prestigious auction houses for thousands of dollars. Currency values always fluctuate, and there are never any guarantees. But at just forty-eight dollars the full uncut sheet and bankers portfolio is a real steal,” Marshall said. “You would expect to only see uncut money sheets on display in the Oval Office or under guard at the Smithsonian,” he said. “In fact, they are so seldom seen, banks don’t even have them. That’s why I’ve

issued a directive to release a limited number of never circulated uncut sheets of valuable $2 bills from our private vault reserve to residents of the Vicksburg area. Residents whose zip code is not on the Distribution List can’t have our Vault Stacks of these full uncut sheets of $2 bills,” Marshall said. “These full uncut sheets of $2 bills will be highly sought after and are extremely popular to hand out as gifts for friends and family,” he said. Most people have never even seen a single $2 bill featuring President Thomas Jefferson on the front and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the back let alone one of these full uncut sheets of never circulated bills. “We’re bracing for all the calls. With just hours left, we’re doing our best to make sure Vicksburg area residents get through. But, it is important that residents find their zip code on the Distribution List and call the Toll Free Hotline right away to beat the deadline. Because when our release is over, it’s over,” he said. “We’re allowing residents whose zip code appears on the Distribution List to claim as many as 10 Vault Stacks. But, since you can’t get these Vault Stacks containing three protective bankers portfolios full of uncut sheets of money at banks, credit unions or even the Federal Reserve the limits will be strictly enforced,” Marshall said. “So, residents who want these full uncut sheets of real money need to call right now. If lines are busy keep trying, we promise to answer all calls,” he said. Q

N.Y. lawmaker resigns after shirtless photo flap

NATION

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Military radar sought for drug crackdown ALBANY, N.Y. — U.S. senators from states along and near the nation’s northern border requested today that the Department of Defense provide military radar to crack down on drug trafficking by low-flying aircraft. Drug smuggling across the border with Canada is much more prevalent than indicated by the number of cases in which drugs have been seized, according to a federal report from November and recent media stories that Sen. Charles Schumer of New York cited. Less than 1 percent of the 4,000-mile border is considered under the operational control of U.S. border officials, a General Accountability Office report found this month. Most areas of the northern border are inaccessible by traditional patrol methods, the report said.

N.Y. woman accused of looting tot’s trust NEW CITY, N.Y. — A New York woman has been charged with stealing thousands of dollars from her son’s trust fund, created after he was struck by a car while riding a scooter as a toddler. A $31,000 settlement from the 2007 accident was put into a trust fund, and a court ordered Eurie not to touch it until the boy reached 18.

Initial reaction cool to Indian nominee OKLAHOMA CITY — The nomination of a man who would be the only current federal judge of American Indian descent is being received coolly by Oklahoma’s two U.S. senators. President Barack Obama nominated Arvo Mikkanen to fill an open district court judgeship in Oklahoma’s Northern District, based in Tulsa. Mikkanen has served as a trial and appellate judge on Oklahoma tribal courts and has worked as an assistant U.S. attorney since 1994. Sens. Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe and U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma’s congressional delegation, have come out against the nomination, saying they weren’t consulted by the White House concerning the nomination.

‘Granddad Bandit’ set for guilty plea RICHMOND, Va. — The so-called “Granddad Bandit” suspected of holding up more than 24 banks in 13 states is expected to plead guilty. Prosecutors said Michael Francis Mara, 53, was set to plead guilty in a Richmond, Va., federal court today. Mara is charged with two robberies in Virginia and has agreed to plead guilty to four robberies in Alabama and one in Arkansas. The FBI dubbed the balding and graying Mara the “Granddad Bandit” to help law enforcement and the public easily identify the suspect, whose picture was posted on billboards across the country.

A woman tries to get some rest at a shelter in Allentown, Pa., after Wednesday night’s explosion.

1 dead, at least 5 missing in natural gas explosion ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A natural gas explosion rocked a downtown neighborhood overnight, leveling two houses and spawning fires that burned for hours through an entire row of neighboring homes. One person was killed, and at least five others were unaccounted for today. The victim lived in a twostory row house in a downtown residential neighborhood that blew up about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, police Chief Roger MacClean said. A couple in their 70s lived in the home, but the condition of the body prevented positive identification, fire Chief Robert Scheirer said. The cause of the explosion was unclear. The blaze was put out early today, delayed by the difficulty of digging through packed layers of snow to a ruptured underground gas line that was feeding the flames, Scheirer said. About 500 people were allowed to return home. Scheirer predicted eight houses would be lost and another 16 damaged. The blast was so powerful that it sent a flat-screen com-

Arroyo and his wife, Jill, both 43, lost their home in the fire. He said he ran outside and saw that an entire house had been leveled, a fireball now raging in the spot where it once stood.

“What I saw, I couldn’t believe,” said Arroyo, a community volunteer. He and his wife, a nurse, fled their home with only the clothes on their backs. They planned to return at daylight to see what they could salvage. Jill Arroyo broke down sobbing when she recalled her son’s athletic memorabilia — likely lost in the blaze — including DVDs of his high school football games. They “are gone. All his trophies are gone. All gone,” she sobbed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A New York congressman abruptly resigned his seat Wednesday, saying he was quitting because he regretted actions that have hurt his family and others. The gossip website Gawker reported Wednesday that Rep. Christopher Lee, a married two-term Republican lawmaker, had sent a shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met on Craigslist. Lee said his resignation was effective immediately. “I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents,” Lee said. “I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness.” An anonymous woman described as a 34-year-old

Maryland resident and government employee provided Gawker with e-mails she said were an exchange between her Rep. Christopher and Lee in Lee response to an ad she placed in the “Women Seeking Men” section of Craigslist. Gawker reported that Lee identified himself as a divorced lobbyist and sent a photo of himself posing shirtless. The woman eventually broke off the contact with Lee after becoming suspicious that he had misrepresented himself, according to Gawker. Lee served on the House Ways and Means Committee and was active on economic revitalization issues.

iPhone-starved areas welcome new gadget FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Katie Elenberger took her doctor’s orders for bed rest in stride, especially because her first day of maternity leave coincided with the delivery of her iPhone. “I’ve been lying on the couch by my front door all day waiting for the FedEx truck,” laughed the expectant mom from her home in Moorhead, Minn. “Getting the iPhone is the highlight of my day.” Elenberger, a graphic designer, is among the thousands who became iPhone-eligible when AT&T’s exclusive deal to carry the Apple gadget ended this week. Previously excluded from the iPhone club because of AT&T’s at-best spotty coverage in this part of the country, cell-phone users in areas of the Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming can now get the phone through the nation’s largest wireless carrier, Verizon Wireless. Verizon says the day it began

accepting online orders for the iPhone from existing customers — including Elenberger — produced record sales. The phone became available to the general public today. Verizon officials would not release figures on presales, but the manager of one North Dakota outlet said interest was steady ahead of today’s rollout. “The demand is definitely there. A lot of people have been waiting a long time,” said Barry Stall, who runs a south Fargo store. Elenberger so eagerly awaited delivery of her iPhone that she knows it arrived “at 3 o’clock sharp” Monday afternoon. Within half an hour, she had transferred her contacts and set up voice mail. She was “2 seconds away” from shutting down her old phone when she was contacted by The Associated Press. “This should be the last call on my Blackberry,” she said.

IRS not stopping billions in improper tax credits, Treasury says WASHINGTON (AP) — More than $10 billion a year in tax credits for low-income families go to people who don’t qualify for them, and the Internal Revenue Service isn’t doing enough to stop them, a government investigator said Wednesday. Using the tax agency’s own numbers, the investigator said about a quarter of all earned income tax credits go to families that don’t meet the requirements. The IRS has known about the improper payments for years but has not done enough to stop them, said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector for tax administration. From 2003 to 2009, improper payments have totaled at least $70 billion, according to a report issued by George. In 2009, between $11.2 billion and $13.3 billion was improperly paid out. “While the earned income tax credit helps many deserving Americans, it is well past

The IRS has known about the improper payments for years but has not done enough to stop them, said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector for tax administration. From 2003 to 2009, improper payments have totaled at least $70 billion, according to a report issued by George. In 2009, between $11.2 billion and $13.3 billion was improperly paid out. time for the IRS to reduce the amount of improper payments in the program,” George said. “The loss of billions of dollars in improper EITC payments annually calls for aggressive and immediate action.” IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge says the agency has worked hard to enforce a complicated section of the tax code. She says taxpayers who receive the credits are twice as likely as others to be audited. “The IRS is strongly committed to ensuring the accuracy of EITC claims and pro-

tecting against improper payments,” Eldridge said. “Every year, the IRS conducts 500,000 EITC audits as part of a broader enforcement strategy, and EITC claims are twice as likely to be audited as other tax returns. The IRS protects nearly $4 billion in improper claims each year.” The earned income tax credit is a favorite among advocates for the poor, who hail it as one of the nation’s most successful anti-poverty programs. In 2009, 24 million low-and moderate-income working families claimed $55 billion in credits,

according to the IRS. Families earn the credits by working and earning wages, but there are income limits, depending on how many children are in each family. For 2010, a married couple with three children could make as much as $48,362 and qualify for the tax credit. A married couple with two children could make as much as $45,373. The top credit is $5,666 for a family with three or more qualifying children; $5,036 for a family with two qualifying children. For many families, the credits are worth more than the federal income taxes they owe. Those families receive the excess credits in the form of a payment from the government after they file their federal tax returns. Several Republican lawmak-

ers said the report shows there are serious problems with the program. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., chairman of the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee, said, “The IRS has failed in its duty to enforce existing law, and the billions of dollars erroneously paid out in recent years is disgraceful, especially when our economy continues to suffer.” The IRS said in a written response to the report that the tax credit is extremely complicated to administer. It noted that eligible taxpayers often have changing incomes that make them eligible one year and not the next. The agency said it hopes to improve enforcement through a new program that requires paid tax preparers to register with the IRS and get training.

Oil prices fell to near $86 a barrel this morning after a report showed OPEC boosted crude output last month to a two-year high amid signs of growing global demand. By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for March delivery was down 35 cents at $86.36 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mer-

cantile Exchange. The contract fell 23 cents to settle at $86.71 on Wednesday. The spread between the Nymex and Brent contracts has continued to expand, aided by another rise of U.S. crude stockpiles and labor strikes connected to the revolt in Egypt which could have an impact on European supplies. According to a report

Wednesday from Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Co., crude oil production by the 12-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries rose 1 percent last month to average 29.57 million barrels per day, a two-year high. OPEC has kept its official crude production quotas unchanged as oil has risen from the $70s most of last year

to a two-year high above $92 last week. Higher oil prices have helped fuel inflation and threaten to undermine the global economic recovery. Earlier this week the U.S. Energy Information Administration boosted its estimate for 2010 oil demand growth to 2.39 million barrels a day, which would be the second biggest annual increase in consumption in the past 30 years.

NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana’s congressional delegation is asking BP to help Louisiana’s oyster industry immediately. In November, Louisiana asked BP PLC to give it $15 million so the state could start repairing oyster beds damaged by the Gulf oil spill. But Louisiana’s congressional delegation says BP still hasn’t given the state the money, or even responded to the request. Oyster production has dropped off badly since the oil spill happened following a well blowout April 20.

High sugar prices help farmers pay off debt NEW ORLEANS — A series of disasters in Australia’s sugarcane region and foul weather in Brazil, India and China have driven up world sugar prices, and many U.S. farmers are making enough to pay off loans and buy new equipment. The U.S. gets about half of its sugar from sugarcane and the rest from sugar beets. Department of Agriculture import quotas have kept the domestic raw sugar price higher than the world average — and relatively stable — for decades. The U.S. price has been about 20 to 22 cents per pound since the early 1980s, while worldwide, the price has swung from 6 to 21 cents a pound just in the past decade. But last year, the New York price averaged 34 cents a pound, and it hit 40 cents last Wednesday, said Jack Roney, director of policy analy-

Fed chief grilled over inflation threat WASHINGTON — Members of Congress sharply questioned Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Wednesday over whether the Fed’s policies are raising the risk of higher inflation in the months ahead. House Budget ComBen mittee ChairBernanke man Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said he is concerned that the Fed won’t be able to detect inflation until “the cow is out of the barn” and inflation is already spreading dangerously through the economy. Bernanke acknowledged that inflation is surging in emerging economies. But he downplayed the risks to the U.S. economy, even as lawmakers expressed concerns about rising gasoline and food prices. Inflation in the United States remains “quite low,” Bernanke said. He blamed higher prices on strong demand from fast-growing countries such as China — not the Fed’s policies to stimulate the economy, including buying $600 billion worth of Treasury debt.

smart money Q: My daughter has been renting a house for the past two years. She just found out that the house is going into foreclosure. Is there any way to find out what the time frame is going to be so she knows when she needs to start looking for a new place to live? She has been paying rent on time and faithfully every month, but apparently the landlord has not been using that money to pay the mortgage. When BRUCE will she have to leave? She would like to stay there but is not sure of what her options are. — Nervous Mom, via e-mail

WILLIAMS

A: If your daughter knows that the owner has not made payments and the foreclosure has not yet begun, has she tried to contact the owner? If she’s interested in buying the house, maybe she can cut a deal with him that will take the owner off the hook at a reduced price. If the owner contacts the bank holding the mortgage and says he has a potential buyer for the house at a reduced rate, it’s possible the bank will want to work out some kind of deal with her. The last thing they want is to be stuck with another house. Even though the foreclosure process has begun, have the owner contact the lender. Lenders do not wish to foreclose unless they absolutely have no other choice. •

Turkey mulls chemical castration for rapists ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s ruling party has proposed legalizing chemical castration as punishment for repeat rapists or pedophiles in an overhaul of sex abuse laws, according to a draft. The proposal is part of a government-backed bill that foresees increased prison terms for sex offenses, especially against children. The bill would require testosterone-supressing drugs for “habitual and persistent” sex offenders and make the procedure a condition for probation for others. Sex offenders would also be submitted to behavioral therapy. It also would almost double maximum prison terms served for sex offenses to 10 years. Convicted pedophiles would serve up to 18 years in prison while sexual abuse of children by parents, stepparents, siblings or guardians would be punishable by 27 years.

Former Nazi camp drops .pl on website WARSAW, Poland — An official at the former Nazi death camp of Majdanek says the memorial has switched its website from a Polish to a European domain name. The memorial site changed its Internet address to www. majdanek.eu from www.majdanek.pl after a request from the government. Poland’s Culture Ministry appealed to Auschwitz and other Nazi memorial sites in the country to change their domain names. Poles do not like to associate themselves with the camps built by the Germans on their soil during World War II.

Israeli gives birth in Palestinian hospital RAMALLAH, West Bank — An Israeli woman gave birth in a Palestinian hospital — an extremely rare occurrence. Nisreen Chayedri, who grew up Jewish but converted to Islam, said she was shopping in the West Bank Wednesday when she went into labor. She was taken to the nearest hospital, where she delivered a baby boy. While Jewish Israelis are barred from visiting Palestinian areas because of security concerns, Israeli-Arab citizens can, though not many do. Few would use the Palestinian medical system, which is far less developed than the Israeli one.

India, Pakistan agree to resume peace talks NEW DELHI — India and Pakistan said today they would resume wide-ranging peace talks that were frozen after the 2008 terrorist attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai, which were blamed on Pakistan-basets. The U.S. has been pressing the nuclear-armed rivals to restart their peace efforts in hopes that reducing tensions along their border would free Pakistan to focus on its fight against Taliban militants — a key element of U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.

Military: Mubarak will meet demands Egyptian president believed to be on verge of relinquinshing power CAIRO (AP) — President Hosni Mubarak will meet the demands of protesters, military and ruling party officials said today in the strongest indication yet that Egypt’s longtime president might be about to give up power and that the armed forces were seizing control. Gen. Hassan al-Roueini, military commander for the Cairo area, told thousands of protesters in central Tahrir Square, “All your demands will be met today.” Some in the crowd held up their hands in V-for-victory signs, shouting “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great,” a victory cry used by secular and religious people alike. The military’s supreme council was meeting today, without the commander in chief Mubarak, and announced on state TV its “support of the legitimate demands of the people.” A spokesman read a statement that the council was in permanent session “to explore “what measures and arrangements could be made to safeguard the nation, its achievements and the ambitions of its great people.” The statement was labelled “communique number 1,” a phrasing that suggests a military coup.

An Egyptian lawyer shouts anti-Mubarak slogans as lawyers streamed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square today. Footage on state TV showed Defense Minster Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi chairing the meeting of two dozen top stern-faced army officers, seated around a table. At Tantawi’s right was military chief of staff Gen. Sami Anan. Not present was Mubarak, the commander in chief and a former air force chief, or his

vice president, Omar Suleiman, a former army general and intelligence chief named to his post after the protests erupted Jan. 25. The head of the ruling party, Hossam Badrawi, told The Associated Press that he expects that Mubarak will “address the people tonight to respond to protesters

demands.” The protests in their 17th day have tapped into the even deeper well of anger over economic woes, including inflation, unemployment, corruption, low wages and wide economic disparities between rich and poor.

6 dead, 6 injured in Ireland plane crash DUBLIN (AP) — A small commuter aircraft carrying 12 people crashed and flipped on its back today while trying to land in heavy fog at Cork Airport in southwest Ireland, killing six people, police said. Police Superintendent Charlie Barry said four of the six survivors were hospitalized in serious condition, chiefly with broken ribs and limbs, while two others escaped with minor cuts and scrapes. “Two actually walked out, miraculously,” he said. The Irish Aviation Authority responsible for running the airport said the fog was so thick that air traffic controllers in a nearby tower could not see the crash, only hear it. Today’s crash was the deadliest in Irish aviation since 1968, when an Aer Lingus flight from Cork to London crashed into the Irish Sea, killing all 61 on board. The Irish Aviation Authority said the aircraft — a twinengined turboprop leased to Isle of Man-based airline Manx2.com and operated by a Barcelona-based com-

It had been traveling from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Authority chief executive Eamonn Brennan said the pilots had been trying to land using instruments. He said prevailing winds were weak and not a factor, while Cork frequently suffers from fog. Brennan said the pilot first tried to land on the southern runway but pulled up,

U.K. debates inmates’ right to vote LONDON (AP) — British lawmakers today debated whether to grant prisoners the right to vote, after Europe’s human rights court told the U.K. it can no longer deny inmates a vote. The issue has enraged victims’ groups and stirred up old grievances about the power of European courts to overrule Britain’s elected lawmakers, including Prime Minister David Cameron. Unlike many other European nations, convicted criminals

held in British jails have been denied the chance to vote in national elections since 1870. Britain must change its laws after convict John Hirst — jailed for the 1979 ax murder of his landlady — won a long legal battle to prove that the legislation was an unfair restriction of prisoners’ rights. The High Court in London initially dismissed his case in 2001, but in 2005 the European Court of Human Rights based in Strasbourg, France, ruled in his favor.

either just short of the tarmac or in the grass to the right. “The visibility was so bad that the tower was not in position to see the aircraft when it impacted,” he said. Television footage of the crash scene showed that the aircraft’s wings were shorn off and the entire front half of the fuselage was crushed. The wreckage came to rest upside down with the landing gear extended and intact. The tail was protruding upward, with comparatively little external damage evident to the rear seating area of the aircraft. Barry said firefighters doused a fire in one of the plane’s engines within three minutes. He said those killed were predominantly in the front half of the aircraft.

Tell-all book portrays Assange as ‘emperor’ BERLIN (AP) — A tell-all book by a former WikiLeaks insider casts founder Julian Assange as an “emperor” who has become just the kind of public figure he is trying to expose. Daniel Domscheit-Berg, the former WikiLeaks spokesman who left the secret-spilling website after a bitter dispute with Assange, writes about his euphoria at the website’s spectacular rise Julian as well as Assange his disillusionment with a leader he describes as power-crazed. He said one of his motives for writing the book was that he wanted to clarify the events that led to the falling-out. “We need to set the record straight before Assange turns into a cult, a pop phenomenon,” Domscheit-Berg told reporters in Berlin today at the launch of his book. “WikiLeaks turned pale computer geeks, whose cleverness otherwise would not have been noticed by anybody, into public figures, who put fear into politicians, CEOS and military chiefs around the world,” he writes in the book. But Domscheit-Berg, who last month launched a rival website called OpenLeaks, also traces the arc of a fraught relationship that eventually erupts into conflict. WikiLeaks’ original mission to “control the power executed behind closed doors and to create transparency, where it was being denied” deteriorated into a situation in which the group was “gradually corrupted by power and secrecy itself,” he writes. Disputes sprang up over money, lack of transparency and Assange’s belief in conspiracy theories, he claims. Domscheit-Berg’s book will be released in Germany, Australia, South Korea, Britain and 12 other European countries on Friday. In the United States, it will be published on Tuesday.

PRECISION FORECAST BY CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BARBIE BASSSETT

Continued from Page A1. provide a full array of behavioral health services from adolescent to geriatric care for our community.” Carney said a “multidisciplinary team” will work in the unit, led by a psychiatrist and staffed with new hires for nursing, social work, activity therapists and others. At completion, the unit will require about 16 fulltime equivalent personnel at an annual cost of $1,082,640, according to the application.

River Region based its application to build the facility on a variety of factors, such as a stated “void” of inpatient psychiatric services for adolescents in its primary service area of Warren, Issaquena, Sharkey, Yazoo, Hinds, Claiborne and Copiah counties. The application mentions 12 beds licensed in Hinds County at University Hospital & Clinics, but emphasizes completion of the project at the

West Campus “will provide a much-needed treatment option for troubled adolescents in Warren County and the surrounding areas.” In 2001, MSDH approved a similar facility for Brentwood Health Management, called Children’s Hospital of Vicksburg. The $4 million unit was to include 20 beds for treatment of child and adolescent psychiatric conditions and 60 beds for psychiatric residential treatment. The agency

revoked the approval in 2007, citing inaction on the part of the Flowood-based psychiatric care provider to advance the project. The decision was upheld in Hinds County Chancery Court in 2008. The Mississippi Supreme Court in 2010 declined to hear an appeal of the ruling. In November, the agency OK’d a certificate of need to transfer 15 adolescent psychiatric beds to Brentwood from Diamond Grove Center, located

in Louisville, Miss. River Region, one of 126 hospitals operated by Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems, has 261 general acute care beds, 40 adult psychiatric beds, 28 adult chemical dependency beds, 12 adolescent chemical dependency beds and 31 long-term care beds which are temporarily de-licensed, the application says.

license plate wanted a redesign every year, it would take an inordinate amount of time from Department of Revenue employees who have other duties. SCV has not decided what the Forrest license plate would look like, Stewart said. Opponents are using their imagination. A Facebook group called “Mississippians Against The Commemoration Of Grand Wizard Nathan Forrest” features a drawing of a hooded klansman in the center of a regular Mississippi car tag. Robert McElvaine, director of history department at the private Millsaps College in Jackson, joined the Facebook group. McElvaine said Forrest’s role at Fort Pillow and involvement in the Klan make him unworthy of being honored, even on the bumpers of cars.

“The idea of celebrating such a person, whatever his accomplishments in other areas may have been, seems like a very poor idea,” McElvaine said. Mississippi lawmakers have shown a decidedly laissezfaire attitude toward allowing a wide variety of groups to have speciality license plates, which usually sell for an extra $30 to $50 a year. The state sells more than 100 specialty plates for everything from wildlife conservation to breast cancer awareness. One design says “God Bless America,” another depicts Elvis Presley. Among the biggest sellers are NASCAR designs and one with the slogan “Choose Life.” The Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has had a state-issued specialty license plate since 2003 to raise money for resto-

ration of Civil War-era flags. From 2003 through 2010, the design featured a small Confederate battle flag. The Department of Revenue allowed the group to revise the license plate this year for the first of the Civil War sesquicentennial designs. The 2011 plate, now on sale, depicts the Beauvoir mansion in Biloxi, the final home of Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president. SCV wants license plates to feature Civil War battles that took place in Mississippi. It proposes a Battle of Corinth design for 2012 and Siege of Vicksburg design for 2013. Stewart said the 2015 plate would be a tribute to Confederate veterans. Johnson, with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he’s not bothered by Civil War commemorative license

plates generally. But he said Mississippi shouldn’t honor Forrest, who was an early leader of what he calls “a terrorist group.” “He should be viewed in the same light that we view Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden,” Johnson said of Forrest. “The state of Mississippi should deny any vanity tags which would highlight racial hatred in this state.” Democratic Rep. Willie Bailey, who handles license plate requests in the House, said he has no problem with SCV seeking any design it wants. “If they want a tag commemorating veterans of the Confederacy, I don’t have a problem with it,” said Bailey, who is black. “They have that right. We’ll look at it. As long as it’s not offensive to anybody, then they have the same rights as anybody else.”

Tag Continued from Page A1. Forrest was a Klan grand wizard in Tennessee after the war. Sons of Confederate Veterans member Greg Stewart said he believes Forrest distanced himself from the Klan later in life. It’s a point many historians agree upon, though some believe it was too little, too late, because the Klan had already turned violent before Forrest left. “If Christian redemption means anything — and we all want redemption, I think — he redeemed himself in his own time, in his own actions, in his own words,” Stewart said. “We should respect that.” State Department of Revenue spokeswoman Kathy Waterbury said legislators would have to approve a series of Civil War license plates.

The weather service reported the overnight low Wednesday was 23 degrees. Friday, however, is forecast to warm to near 50, Saturday to 60 and Sunday could reach 70 degrees, the NWS said.

Mississippi State guard Dee Bost breaks away from Arkansas forward Michael Sanchez Wednesday. Mississippi State won 67-56.

Bost helps Bulldogs rally past Razorbacks By David Brandt The Associated Press STARKVILLE — Mississippi State was playing without its leading scorer due to suspension. Two other starters were less than full strength because of injuries. A less than ideal situation? Sure. But the Bulldogs are seasoned pros at handling adversity at this point. Pushing aside all the problems, Dee Bost scored 18 points and Renardo Sidney added 12 as Mississippi State beat Arkansas 67-56 on Wednesday night.

“I liked our togetherness,” MSU coach Rick Stansbury said. “Nothing mattered out there tonight but winning.” Mississippi State (13-10, 5-4 Southeastern Conference) trailed 36-35 with 17:50 remaining in the second half but used a 23-6 run over the next seven minutes to pull away. Bost made 7-of-12 shots from the field, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range, despite playing with a sore foot. Arkansas (14-9, 4-6) lost for the 11th straight time at Humphrey Coliseum, dating back to 2000. Marcus Britt’s 10 points led the

Razorbacks, who lost their third straight overall. Bost became the 33rd player in school history to score 1,000 career points, on a 3-pointer late in the first half. It tied the score at 25 and came in the middle of a 11-0 run that helped push the Bulldogs’ lead to 33-28 by halftime. Mississippi State used its eighth different starting lineup of the season, inserting freshman Shaun Smith for senior Riley Benock. Benock, who injured his shoulder during Tuesday’s practice, played 22 minutes See MSU, Page B3.

DALLAS (AP) — Ticketholding football fans who ended up with no seats or what they considered bad views of the Super Bowl have filed a classaction lawsuit against the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones. The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Dallas — just two days after the big game — alleges breach of contract, fraud and deceptive sales practices on behalf of people who ended up watching the game on TV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, or had seats the lawsuit labeled “illegitimate.”

Ole Miss guard Chris Warren is fouled by LSU’s Andre Stringer (10) as LSU’s Garrett Green (3) also defends Wednesday.

Mississippi State’s bizarre season bears watching Rick Stansbury’s basketball team would make for one heck of a reality show. Hard Knocks: Starkville would be an apt title. The season-long carousel of woe has hit Mississippi State fans again and again with more drama that not even a trip to the NCAA Tournament could soothe. And that prospect is looking less and less likely all the time. The SEC West Division is woeful. By the measure of the computer-generated Rating Percentage Index, which is designed to gauge a team’s strength of schedule and performance against that schedule, the West Division is the worst division of any conference in the nation. Ole Miss is 58th. West-leading Alabama is 96th in RPI, while Arkansas, which Mississippi State beat 67-56 on Wednesday night, is ranked 120th. State sits at 130, while LSU slots in at 213. Rebuild-

ing Auburn sits at 283rd, the lowest-ranked major conference team. RPI is key indicator for a team’s chances at a berth in the Big Dance. And with numbers like that, Roseanne Barr has a better chance of winning “American Idol” than a team from the West making the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. In comparison, Southern Miss, which plays in ConferenceUSA, is ranked 45th in the latest RPI. It’s amazing that a Mississippi State program that has

won the SEC West crown five of the past eight seasons has fallen this far from a team that was predicted to contend for the league title. Chaos has ruled Mississippi State (13-10, 5-4 SEC) since the season tipped off in November. The Bulldogs were forced to play without star point guard Dee Bost and post presence Renardo Sidney, who were suspended by the NCAA. Bost was benched for dipping his toe in the NBA Draft waters and Sidney for extra benefits his family received during a particularly fishy recruitment. Sidney later was suspended for another game for an “incident” in practice. Then, in front of a national TV audience in Hawaii, Sidney and Elgin Bailey decided to switch sports to mixed martial arts, and the pair had a throw-down that turned into an ESPN and Youtube sensation. Bailey

left the program and Sidney, who has yet to get himself into game shape, sat some more despite a bizarre front-loaded non-conference schedule filled with more cream puffs than a bakery to get him eligible. Lost in the brawl was State’s performance on the court, which stunk to high heaven. The Bulldogs beat lowly San Diego and mailed in miserable performances against Virginia Tech (88-57), Washington State (83-57), Hawaii (68-57) and St. Mary’s (94-72). So much for a tropical vacation. The SEC slate wasn’t much better. Wins over Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Auburn and LSU have been the only reason for optimism, soured by a season sweep by archrival Alabama and losses to Vanderbilt and Georgia. Then leading scorer Ravern Johnson’s critical tweets after a loss to Alabama

resulted in a one-game suspension that has ballooned into one of the indefinite variety. Re-tweeter Sidney, who apparently has no original tweets of his own, was not suspended for repeating Johnson’s complaints. The schedule gets only tougher from here. Road games at Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee loom, and the Bulldogs need all the momentum they can get before the SEC Tournament, which starts on March 10. Can the Bulldogs pull it all together in the Georgia Dome? Even if they don’t, it promises to be one interesting ride. •

NASCAR Mayfield apologizes to stepmother in settlement CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jeremy Mayfield has apologized for blaming his father’s death on his estranged stepmother. The public apology was part of a settlement Tuesday in a slander lawsuit Lisa Mayfield filed against the suspended NASCAR driver.

Paul struggles in loss to Nets NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — There aren’t many nights when Chris Paul can take the blame for a New Orleans Hornets’ loss. The Nets’ 103-101 overtime win that snapped a three-game New Jersey losing streak and extended the Hornets’ slide to four was one of them. Paul struggled, hitting 4-of-15 shots from the field and turning the ball over seven times. The All-Star guard missed a shot late in regulation that gave New Jersey a chance to force the overtime. He also turned the ball over with 19 seconds left in the overtime and the Hornets down two, and finally he had a 3-pointer at the buzzer go in-and-out, ending a miserable night. “I don’t care what anybody says about a bunch of different things happening over the course of the game,” said Paul, who finished with nine points, 11 assists and five rebounds. “I feel like this was my loss. The turnovers. The decision-making down the stretch. We have to impose our will.” The guys who imposed their will were Nets’ backup guard Sasha Vujacic, point guard Devin Harris and center Brook Lopez. Vujacic regained his shooting touch and scored a career-high 25, hitting 5-of-7 3-pointers as the Nets made a season-high dozen long balls. Lopez hit two go-ahead free throws with 24.3 seconds to go to finish a 20-point effort and Harris spent most of the game hounding Paul and keeping him from going down the lane. The Hornets had three chances to either tie or win the game in the closing seconds of overtime. Paul turned the ball after losing his footing following a bump. Willie Green missed a jumper with about five seconds to go after

New Jersey Nets center Brook Lopez, right, blocks New Orleans Hornets forward David West in overtime Wednesday. The Nets won 103-101 in overtime. Harris was called for five seconds while inbounding the ball. Kris Humphries got the rebound after the Green miss and was fouled but he missed two free throws, giving New Orleans one final chance. It went to Paul, who was wide open after Nets guard Jordan

Farmar was knocked down. Paul’s 3-pointer went halfway down and came out, allowing New Jersey a chance to celebrate. Humphries had 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Nets, who rallied from a five-point deficit in the final minute of regula-

tion to force the overtime. David West led the Hornets with 32 points and 15 rebounds, which matched his season high. Green matched his season high with 19 points and Marco Belinelli had all 17 of his points in the second half.

Kimbrell, Venters aim for closer role ATLANTA (AP) — The one-week countdown to the start of Braves spring training found Craig Kimbrell and Jonny Venters doing what they do best. Throwing hard. Kimbrell, a 22-year-old righthander, and Venters, a 25-yearold left-hander, are the favorites to take the closer’s role left vacant with Billy Wagner’s retirement. One week before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, Kimbrell and Venters were showing off their fastballs at the Braves’ early pitcher’s camp at Turner Field on Monday. New manager Fredi Gonzalez said Kimbrell and Venters may share save situations this season. Some believe Kimbrell may win the job after he averaged two strikeouts per inning in 2010. Kimbrell was 4-0 with an incredibly low 0.44 ERA and one save in his only opportunity last season. He had 40 strikeouts in 202⁄3 innings. Even Venters said Kimbrell pitched like a closer. “I think Craig is probably the front-runner for that job,” Venters said Monday. “He’s got a great arm and strikes out a bunch of guys.” Kimbrell said he wasn’t trying to audition for the 2011 closer’s role last season.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Craig Kimbrell throws in the outfield at Turner Field, Monday. Kimbrell and Jonny Venters are the leading candidates to replace Billy Wagner as the team’s closer, and new manager Fredi Gonzalez said the two may share the job.

mlb “I didn’t see it like that at all,” Kimbrell said. “I saw it as going out there and just pitching to help the team win. It didn’t matter if it was in the sixth inning or in the 12th

inning, I was going to give it my all.” Kimbrell and Venters insisted they would be happy in any role. “I think everybody is going to play themselves into a role,” he said. “I think it will

be fine.” When asked if he sees himself as the closer, Kimbrell acknowledged “I hope so. There’s a lot of guys working for that job this year. No job is set in stone.” Of the two, Kimbrell had a shorter stay with Atlanta last season. He stuck after his second promotion and appeared in only 21 games. “Kimbrell came in last year and really built a lot of confidence with us and with the coaches with how he came in and pitched his second time up last year,” right-hander Tim Hudson said Monday. “He looked like he really belonged.” Venters was called up on April 17 and he never went back to the minors. The lefthander assumed an increasingly more important role and finished 4-4 with one save and a 1.95 ERA in 79 games. He had 93 strikeouts in 83 innings. If Gonzalez has a favorite for the closer’s role, he’s not saying. He hinted each could be used to finish games. “The plan is, we’re going to give Venters and Kimbrell the opportunity,” Gonzalez said. “Whichever way it falls, lefties or whatever.” Venters said he’d be happy sharing saves “as long as whoever comes out for the ninth gets the job done.”

Mississippi State got 21 points from its bench, including nine from Brian Bryant and eight from Wendell Lewis. “We had to pick it up and match their intensity,” Bost said. “The bench gave us a lift and everyone played well.” The Bulldogs were without leading scorer Ravern Johnson, who has been suspended

the past two games because of critical Tweets sent after a loss to Alabama last week and for violating the school’s class attendance policy. Four starters have been suspended a combined total of 31 games this season for various infractions. Mississippi State won anyway, using tough defense and another solid game from Bost, who added three rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot.

Sidney finished with a double-double, adding 10 rebounds as the Bulldogs controlled the boards with a 41-28 advantage. Mississippi State shot 46.8 percent (22 of 47) from the field, but turned the ball over 21 times. “If you force the home team into 21 turnovers and take 13 more shots than they did, you’d feel pretty good,” Arkansas coach John Pelphrey said.

playing with a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence.” LSU (10-14, 2-7) had an eight-point, second-half lead, but Graham’s jumper tied it at 51 with 6:29 left, and the Rebels ended the game on a 9-3 run.

ATLANTA — There they sat, side by side, the baseball coach and his freshman outfielder, adorned in matching black-and-gold warm-up suits. Thankfully, the attire wasn’t their only match. Even though his right side was still tender and sore, Kevin Jordan hasn’t felt this good since last February, when a mysterious illness began sapping his strength and eventually caused his kidneys to shut down. To his right was Wake Forest coach Tom Walter, who has always considered his players to be like family. No one will ever doubt the sincerity of those words. The coach gave up one of his healthy kidneys so the 19-year-old Jordan would have a shot at a normal, healthy life. “I’m just really thankful,” the teenager said at a news conference Wednesday, two days after the coach’s kidney was transplanted in him at Emory University Hospital. “This is as good as it gets. I don’t have words for it right now.” Walter had volunteered to be tested after he learned of Jordan’s illness, which forced Jordan to hook up to a dialysis machine for nine hours each night. As it became more likely Walter’s kidney might be needed, the Wake Forest compliance officer checked with the NCAA to make sure there were no violations of the extra benefits rule. Not that Walter would have let the threat of probation stop him. “I talked it over with our athletic director (Ron Wellman), and he probably said it best when he said we were answering to a higher calling on this one,” Walter said. Jordan’s mother and brother weren’t compatible for a transplant, and his father wasn’t even eligible because he has high blood pressure. Walter, it turned out, was a match. When he got the news last month, he never wavered on his decision to give up a part of himself so Jordan would have a chance at a long, healthy life. “I didn’t want Kevin to wait

free throws with 25 seconds remaining. Freshman Matt Derenbecker scored a career-high 19 points, Ralston Turner scored 16 and Storm Warren added 10 for LSU. Derenbecker’s previous high was 17 points. Derenbecker hit three 3-pointers in a 150-second span in the second half to give LSU its largest lead at the 11:29 mark. Turner was inactive for

college baseball one more day if I could help it,” Walter said. Without a living donor willing to donate a kidney, Jordan likely would have waited for three to five years for one to become available. That almost certainly would have ruined his dreams of reaching the major leagues. Now, everything is back in play. “Baseball was always there for me,” Jordan said. “As soon as my body agrees with me and I’m allowed to start playing, I’m going to start playing again.” Dr. Allan Kirk, who took part in the 31⁄2-hour transplant operation, said there’s no reason Jordan can’t be like any other player. He’ll have to wait about eight weeks before he can start swinging a bat, but assuming the kidney performs well and there’s no signs of rejection, he can count on being ready to go next season. “He should live a life that is normal in activity, normal in length,” Kirk said. Jordan felt anything but normal last February, when he began suffering from flulike symptoms. He would eventually lose 30 pounds off his sturdy, 198-pound frame, but he played on at Northside High School in Columbus, Ga., the pro scouts wondering quietly what was wrong. He wasn’t as strong as he had been. He wasn’t as fast. Doctors in his hometown couldn’t pinpoint the problem. Finally, Jordan’s parents took him to Atlanta, where he learned in June — shortly after his high school was eliminated from the state playoffs and before he left for Wake Forest — that he had ANCA vasculitis, a type of autoimmune swelling disorder caused by abnormal antibodies. When those abnormalities show up in the kidneys, they can cause blood and protein to leak into the urine, leading to a shutdown. That’s what happened to Jordan.

the teams’ first meeting this season, a 27-point Ole Miss victory. Reginald Buckner led Ole Miss with seven rebounds and the Rebels outrebounded the Tigers 39-30. Malcolm White, in his first visit to Tad Smith Coliseum since transferring to LSU prior to the 2009 season, scored the Tigers’ first four points and finished with eight and a team-high 11 rebounds.

Simpson, Wentz falling out of marriage Ashlee Simpson has filed for divorce from Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. The papers, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles, cite irreconcilable differences, court records show. The singer and actress is seeking physical custody of their 2-year-old son. “After careful consideration, Pete we have made the difficult deWentz cision to file for divorce,” the former couple said in a joint statement. “We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son, Bronx, Ashlee Simpson whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority.” Simpson married Wentz in May 2008 and her court filing does not indicate when the couple broke up. She is the sister of performer Jessica Simpson and has released three albums and appeared in the reboot of the television series “Melrose Place.”

Animal Planet says 9.2 million viewers watched “Puppy Bowl VII.” That’s the most to watch the annual program, which has increased in popularity as a cuddly alternative to the Super Bowl. Animal Planet counted its total viewers from the afternoon premiere and the subsequent five re-airings.

Johnson, who was born in Hazlehurst, died in 1938 under mysterious circumstances. Markers are at three sites where people have claimed he is buried, though the generally accepted location is beneath a

pecan tree in the cemetery at Little Zion M.B. Church outside Greenwood. The centennial festival has the support of Robert Johnson’s surviving grandson, Steven Johnson, who will be the opening act on May 7.

with this exhibit.” The exhibit will remain open through August, Taylor said. The cornerstone of the celebration will be the blues. The Alluvian will host a happy hour May 5 that will feature live music. Free concerts will be held in Whittington Park on the nights of May 6 and 7. Musicians Jay Lang and the Devils Due and Bobby Rush, among others, were scheduled to perform the first night, and Honeyboy Edwards, the Kenny Brown Band, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Keb’ Mo’ were to play the second night. “It was really important for us to create an opportunity for people to come out and enjoy free live music,” Hunt said. “It will be a great weekend,” she said.

‘Don’t push your luck’

Judge tells Lohan she’s no star in his court LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan walked into a courtroom to face a felony grand theft charge looking like a million dollars, only to be told by a judge she was no different than anyone else. Lohan’s arraignment on a charge that she stole a $2,500 necklace from an upscale jeweler wasn’t the first time a judge threatened to throw the troubled starlet in jail. But it was the first time a judge wielded enough power to keep her locked up for a long time. “You’re in a different situation now that a felony has been filed,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz said after the actress pleaded not guilty Wednesday. “Everybody else has to follow the law,” Schwartz said, noting that he was giving the actress a tamer version of a lecture he’d delivered to her attorney behind closed doors and away from the dozens of assembled reporters. “You’re no different than anyone else. So please, don’t push your luck.” Testing the limits — in the courtroom rather than the big screen — has been Lohan’s calling card in recent months. She has arrived late to some hearings on a 2007 drunken driving case, and appeared at one with an expletive painted on her fingernails.

Lindsay Lohan and her entourage arrive at court Wednesday in Los Angeles. Judges sent her to jail twice last year and twice to rehab as well, but her time in custody was shortened each time by overcrowding and the fact that she was being held on misdemeanor charges and bail had to be set. During her recent three month stay in rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic, Lohan was accused of battery on a worker. Prosecutors are still considering whether to file charges.

The necklace theft accusation came less than three weeks after Lohan’s discharge from Betty Ford. In both cases, Lohan’s attorney has denied wrongdoing by the actress. Lohan, 24, arrived early for Wednesday’s hearing, wearing a thigh-high white dress and sunglasses. She said she understood Schwartz’s comments before being led away by deputies to be booked.

Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore described her as cooperative during the hourlong process, during which a DNA sample was taken. The “Mean Girls” star is due back in court Feb. 23, an important hearing in which Lohan could opt to end the case early. Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, indicated Wednesday that the actress was interested in an early disposition program if the terms are right. That would prevent a trial, and a preliminary hearing during which evidence against Lohan would be presented, but also likely mean that she would remain under court scrutiny for some time. Her DUI probation, which Schwartz revoked Wednesday, is due to end in August. Even if Lohan is able to put her court troubles behind, her career prospects remain unclear. Once a star of Disney films, Lohan has all but disappeared from the big screen since 2007. She had a small part in last year’s “Machete,” but lost her role as porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic while at Betty Ford. For now Lohan’s fame remains tied to her courthouse appearances, which for months have seemed less like cameos and more like her defining role.

Hollywood sweethearts warm up Fashion Week crowd NEW YORK (AP) — A catwalk of celebrities kicked off New York Fashion Week on Wednesday night, getting the audience all pumped up for the Red Dress runway show, which draws attention to a national awareness campaign about women and heart disease.

No one strutted quite like actress Taraji P.

Pop singer Natasha Bedingfield performed at the end of her turn, but one could have forgotten her day job as she wore a deep V halter dress by Nicole Miller.

campaign against childhood obesity. “I’ve always talked about balance in this campaign.” She conceded that the Michelle menu raised a Obama few eyebrows. But Mrs. Obama said many of the dietary changes she’s talking about don’t require wholesale changes, such as adding

more fruits and vegetables to dinner plates and lunch boxes, helping children exercise more and replacing sugary drinks with water. “This isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition and it’s important for families not to get caught up in that, not to think that I can never indulge.” The first lady fielded a few queries about her husband, including whether President Barack Obama dyes his graying hair or is vain. She replied “no” on both counts.

Julianne Hough’s red Swarovski dress played into the heart-health theme with its sweetheart neckline and her necklace with crystals shaped into hearts. By fashion standards, Alberta Ferretti’s eyelash pleat dress on TV personality Cat Deeley and Monique Lhuillier’s rose-covered ballgown, modeled by Garcelle Beauvais, were standouts. The Red Dress show has become an annual event in February at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which officially kicks off today for eight days of previews for the fall season.

Teen outcast can’t learn social skills all by himself Dear Abby: You assured “Overwhelmed in Ohio” (Dec. 18) that fellow student “Dan” will “move on and start building a life” after high school. On what base might he build? Because Overwhelmed says Dan is an outcast whom everyone treats as invisible, and he has attached himself to the one person who has befriended him, it appears he has completely missed the normal teen social-learning process. How, then, is he supposed to have acquired the social skills necessary for building connections later in life? There’s a difference between being unpopular and being ostracized. An unpopular kid

DEAR ABBY ABIGAIL

can participate in social situations with similar kids. A kid who is shunned cannot. Unfortunately, Dan might be on a path toward lifelong isolation. What needs to happen before Overwhelmed pulls away is for the adults in charge of this school to figure out why Dan has been ostracized, and develop an effective remedy for the situation — one that gets

Dan into normal relationships with other people. And there should also be lessons about empathy provided to the students who are shunning him. — Knows from Experience Dear Knows: Thank you for your insight. You are by no means the only reader who felt compelled to chime in. Read on: Dear Abby: High school can be a cruel time for many young people, especially those deemed outcasts by their peers. I had a friend in high school who truly suffered. I made it my mission to make sure he felt he wasn’t completely alone. I hung out with him at lunch, at the library on

weekends and tried to include him in activities in which I was involved. I defended him to those who called him names, and although I was younger than he, I felt like his protector. Now, eight years later and living in different states, we are still friends. He told me recently that I was the only reason he didn’t attempt suicide in high school. He said I had saved his life by just taking a few moments out of my day to say hello or hang out with him. At the time, I didn’t realize the lifeline I was extending. — Lucy in Oakland, Calif. Dear Abby: My teenage son was similarly invisible to his

Creams, cryotherapy offer relief for skin condition Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to know of any effective treatment for granuloma annulare. Dear Reader: This is a chronic skin condition of raised red or flesh-colored lumps that generally appear on the hands, feet, knees and elbows. The lesions often disappear within two years without treatment; however, they might re-appear at a later time, and the cycle will repeat itself. The skin might itch, but this is uncommon. When the condition becomes widespread, ringlike patterns might appear and itching becomes more common. Should you choose to treat your granuloma annulare, this might be accomplished through corticosteroid creams, ointments or injections, cryotherapy (freezing) or light therapy. For generalized granuloma annulare, some physicians prescribe topical cal-

cineurin inhibitors. System treatments include hydroxychloroquine, isotretinoin or dapsone. Speak with your physician. Good luck. Dear Dr. Gott: For years, I thought I was suffering from narcolepsy. I can barely stay awake at work and, when I’m home, I do nothing but sleep. This has gotten progressively worse over the past three or four years. I just recently found out that my B12 level is at 149, and my physician thinks that is the cause of the hypersomnia. I’m getting B12 shots every other week for two months and then will

get shots once a month. After three shots, I feel no better. Is there some other factor that could be causing me to feel this way? Dear Reader: Vitamin B12 deficiency would cause a number of significant signs, including fatigue, before it would cause true narcolepsy, a chronic sleep disorder. People suffer daytime drowsiness and drop off to sleep at inappropriate times without warning. They may awaken feeling refreshed, fall asleep again and repeat. Oral B12 tablets are reported to contain more of the vitamin than is available through injection; however, they are not absorbed as well as the injectable form. I recommend you speak with your primary-care physician to be assured this method is appropriate for you. You should also undergo routine lab testing and perhaps

TWEEN 12 & 20

BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Dr. Wallace: Why do cult people always hang around airports looking for recruits? It seems like they’d want to hang around high schools and colleges. A young person would have to be pretty stupid to think that joining a cult can give you a good life. Most cult members look like kooks. I’ve had several cult members try to give me their literature, but I just walk by and look the other way. My best friend’s cousin, a girl, joined a cult about a year ago. She now has nothing do with her family. — Kelly, Dallas. Kelly: Cult recruiters seek out teens with social or family problems, those traveling or those who have run away from home. That’s why they hang around airports and bus

stations. To troubled, lonely teens, a cult offers a sense of belonging and a home away from home. “Recruiting cult members are ready to become intimate and they offer phony love to those who are looking for it,” says Dr. James Gordon, a psychiatrist and cult authority. A typical cult prospect is between the ages of 18 and 22 and has some sort of religious background, according to sociologist Ronald Enroth of Westmont College. Dr. Wallace: I smoke marijuana about twice a week. I’m planning on joining the military and, of course, I’ll have to pass a drug test. I don’t use other drugs, so my only concern is pot. I’ve heard it stays in your sys-

tem longer than other drugs. How long should I abstain from using pot, so I will have a clean test? — Kent, Santa Ana, Calif. Kent: The main ingredient in marijuana is THC, which happens to be fat-soluble. This means it merges with your fatty tissues and takes up to six weeks to be completely eliminated from your body. Now is the perfect time to chuck your marijuana habit for good. If you continue smoking it in the military, you risk getting caught and being slapped with an undesirable discharge. Of course, smoking marijuana is unwise anytime. • Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service. E-mail him at rwallace@ Copley News Service.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION If tomorrow is your birthday: A relationship with someone with whom you once had a strong attachment could blossom once again in the year ahead. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you want anybody, but especially those in your household to do your bidding, you first have to set an example worthy of emulation. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Yielding to self-doubts will get you no place. Ignore all thoughts about “what if?” and concentrate only on “I can.” If you don’t have faith in yourself, you’ll quit before you even begin. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Engaging in activities that could either help or hurt your material well-being should not be taken lightly. Give money matters all the time and attention they need. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It might take all the elbow grease you can muster to complete a task you thought would be a snap to do. However, if you’re prepared to work a bit harder than expected, you’ll succeed. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — You could find yourself being offended by something a companion says where you

know no ill will was intended. Lighten up. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You can take in stride the behavior of your friends, because you know everybody is human, but any hint of selfishness or rudeness might greatly offend you. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You could find yourself in the position of being able to block an objective of another who recently treated you poorly. You won’t be sorry if you make an ally instead of an enemy. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you want to make friends, not enemies, keep critical comments to yourself. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The efficacy of an endeavor you share with another could be very “iffy” if you and your cohort attempt to do something where you both lack the know-how. Get someone who has done it before. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Follow through on commitments, but especially one you have with your spouse. You might get away with it with letting a friend down, but not with your spouse. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you have a tendency to rush into things at times, you need to be me-

thodical when working on a critical assignment. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — All wasteful spending will do for you is harvest seeds of regret in the near future.

classmates and it led to deep depression and anxiety. He is now at a school with other kids who have social learning disorders — a broad class that includes Asperger’s syndrome and a general failure to observe and respond to social cues. If Dan falls into this category, he needs the help of the adults and teens in his life. There is also effective therapy available for social learning disorders,

and a decent school counselor should be able to help Dan and his parents find it. — Mom of a Formerly Invisible Teen
